Restoring Databases from a Non-Local NetMRI Source
- Viktoryia Varapayeva (Deactivated)
Under some circumstances, you may need to restore from a database file generated from another NetMRI instance to the current NetMRI system (from one NetMRI Collector system to another one, for example). in such cases, the NetMRI Database looks for a locally generated database to restore, using the file naming format of the current NetMRI instance.
If a database is present in the local archive directory that originates from a remote NetMRI using a different file naming format, the restore will fail to find the local DB that it is seeking by default, and also will not access the 'outside' database archive file you are trying to restore from, displaying an error message.
The restore CLI command supports the use of database archives originating from another system.
The *.tgz database file must be transferred to the file system in the current NetMRI instance before execution. An example:
restore <filename>, where <filename> is the archived file name without the extension.tgz
